This was one of my best Hostel experiences, if not the best. The hostel is in a vivacious neighborhood, with shops, cafes, restos nearby, plus a wonderful city park with lots of green. The staff is extremely kind and competent. I stayed in the ballet room, which was my secret wish before check-in. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable and big. All other guests were respectful, which not only meant the maximum silence possible in the room but also that we left the bathroom clean. All in all, highly recommended!

Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary! The absolute top location is unbeatable – just a short walk to the iconic Kölner Dom and vibrant shopping streets. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a frequent traveler, you’ll appreciate how close you are to everything Cologne has to offer. The room was modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. I especially loved the fully stocked kitchenette with high-quality utensils – perfect for both short and long stays. After a long day of exploring, I could unwind in the cozy lounge with a glass of wine, which truly felt like a home away from home. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to make sure my stay was comfortable. Their warm hospitality made such a difference, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout my visit. Other highlights include the quiet, relaxing atmosphere, despite being in the heart of the city, and the thoughtful amenities provided in the room, such as soft bedding, fast Wi-Fi, and even little details like coffee and tea supplies. I will definitely return for a longer stay during my next visit, this time with my kids, as this hotel perfectly balances convenience, comfort, and warmth. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cologne – this place truly sets the standard for hospitality!

We loved this place! It was a surpriset to me, because I didn't pay much attantion during the booking. I wanted an accommodation at a good location with good price, but in the end we stayed in a really high quality place with a really really good breakfast (and Hugo:)). I recommend it!

    The location is great, 5 minutes walk from Cologne Central Station. It's a beautiful building with unique and stylish interior design. The reception staff was friendly and the check-in/out was easy and quick. The room was spacious and clean. There are Rituals products in the bathroom, which is a nice touch. Overall it was a great experience, thank you.

    The bar was so lovely! I was not expecting it and all the staff were really nice. The room and hotel were so well designed and decorated, it certainly felt more like a designer hotel rather than a 'motel'. Everything was really comfortable and I enjoyed my stay a lot.
